Stock SSIII wheels too narrow

If his body is straight/symmetrical on the frame then he should have no issues with a 9" wide wheel and 9.5" wide sidewall. A 275/45 should slide right in there. And perhaps more.
IMO anyway.
275/60r15 on a 15x7 (any factory G-body aluminum rim) or 15x8 (properly spec'd BS) is the perfect stock body/frame/ride height tire for any G-body.
Not my experience, but I've not owned a Cutlass, so maybe they work better than the Malibu styling.
Geesh, I just re-read. I SNAFU'd. I seen the link you posted and L92's comment and thought we were talking about 17" and 18" wheels, not 15's. When I referenced a 275/45 I guess I should've thrown the R18 on there.
Sorry 'bout that.
And ABBA just produced and introduced a brand new album. if you liked them, don't watch the video just listen to the tunes. They got old same as everyone else did.

There's two versions of this wheel out there to my knowledge. The US Mag one and the "earlier" version that doesn't seem to have any stepped edge options on the rim. Like a built in trim ring. But they also have built-in bezels around the openings that the chrome G-body wheels didn't have. I still like the stepped US Mag ones better for G-bodies if I went aftermarket.
As far as the ABBA thing with avatars, apparently it's the newest thing. Probably the right idea for them, I guess. Surrogates. Avatars. Whatever you want to call them. Sort of funny this sort of knocks loose some memories- Take a Chance and Dancing Queen were huge hits on the dance floors when I was a younger punk in high school. I always called it bubble-gum music but it was always seemed to play at the clubs with the lighted floors (thanks for all that stupid stuff, Saturday Night Fever) when cruising the girls. Used it to my advantage, though. 🙂
Avatars aren't for me, though. I mean, who would want to watch a bunch of washed up, wrinkly, old skin-bags that look like a senior center bus just dropped them off on stage attempt to run all over the stage like they used to but failing miserably? Not me. And with the synthesizers and such altering voices to perhaps sound "younger", if they did that, would sort of ruin the effect. It'd be like having one of those Darth Vader kid's masks that alter your voice to sound like James Earl Jones. EVERYTHING about it just seems fake.
